Support activity-alias in Android launcher activity detection - #187251
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Scan both "<activity>" and "<activity-alias>" elements when parsing raw "AndroidManifest.xml" in "AndroidApk.fromAndroidProject". This allows applications that define their main launcher activity via an activity-alias to be successfully detected and launched. Added unit tests in "application_package_test.dart" to verify activity-alias parsing in both the raw XML manifest parser and the "aapt" dump parser (which already implicitly supported it).

…ty resolution Update raw manifest parser to support '<activity-alias>' elements when searching for main launcher activity. This aligns behavior with compiled manifest parsing which already supports it, and allows apps using activity-alias for launchers to start successfully. Also fixed parser consistency by breaking on first launcher match, and improved safety against missing name attributes on launcher elements. TAG=agy CONV=9697b14d-2ef7-49c4-a41b-7296635fc856

Code Review
This pull request updates the Android application package parsing to support activity-alias elements in the manifest alongside standard activity elements, and adds corresponding unit tests. Feedback on the changes suggests ensuring packageId is not null before setting launchActivity to prevent string interpolation from bypassing subsequent null checks, and using followedBy to lazily concatenate the activity iterables instead of using the spread operator.
